mission, analyzed Amprir-an
politics at a recent press
conference.
"Conditions that breed
revolt are always the same.
They are present here today
just as they were in the
French and Russian revolu
tions," he said.
Today it seems that the
revolution will be a long time
coming. In Chicago last
week, what were scheduled
as "massive" demonstra
tions turned out to be small
demonst rations, com
paritively small marches,
few city or nationwide events
and two violent protests.
The revolutionary move
ment is torn by differences in
ideological and tactical
theories plagued with
numerous arrests (some
legitimate, some illegal) high
bail fees, police brutality and
weariness, confusion and
distortion from within and
without.
The Students for a
Democratic Society (SDS),
vanguards of the new
r evolutionaries, illustrate
these problems. The SDS,
along with the Black Pan
thers and Young Lords of the
Puerto Rican youth move
ment put out a call for na
tional action and massive
demonstrations in Chicago
last week. Though SDS
spokesmen claimed a few
"victories," the action ap-
long
time coming'
peared to be largely a
failure.
Only a few hundred
students, perhaps 1,500 in all,
went to Chicago to protest
the trial, the Vietnam war,
racial problems and, as an
SDS pamphlet said, "not only
against a single war or
'Foreign Policy,' but against
the whole imperialist system
that made the war a
necessity."
One reason so few
participated involved the
confusion over a recent split
in the SDS. Revolutionary
Youth Movement II (RYM
II), Is concerned primarily
with the war, and poverty,
and places emphasis on
practical political work,
social programs,
demonstrations and gather
ing wide-spread support.
RYM II originally planned
and called for the Oct. 8-11
action.
However RYM I (called
the Weathermen), a smaller
group that seems to place
more emphasis on political
theory and revolution, also
scheduled action for the
same week.
No one knew whether to go
to the Che Guevara rally or
draft board demonstrations,
the conspiracy trial or the
hospital actions. Rain broke
up some demonstrations and
cancelled others. A special
RYM II newspaper express
ed hope that the Weathermen
would not "turn off the peo
ple." "People will turn out if we
make our politics clear and
spread the message far and
wide ... the people will be
iitiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii mult
Mike Barret, a Nebraskan
staff reporter, was in
Chicago during the protest
demonstrations prior to the
Oct. 15 national Vietnam
moratorium. This is his ac
count and evaluation of the
events that occurred.

able to distinguish a good
from a bad line."
Sandy Meyer, leader of
RYM I, she thought that
group condemned the
"violence orientation" of
RYMI, she thought that
former President Johnson's
and President Nixon's
unresponsiveness to dissent
were leading people to en
dorse violence.
During the week's action
many of those people
gathered in churches on or
near the Northwestern
University campus in
Evanston, 111., a suburb of
Chicago.
Ministers of the churches
gave permission to SDS and
other groups to use the
buildings as "movement
centers," for organizational
meetings, strategy debates
and overnight shelters.
All arriving at the centers
were searched for weapons
and drugs. Identification and
"verification" were required
for entry. Daily Nebraskan
reporters and photographers
were refused admittance and
threatened when they pro
duced press credentials.
One Nebraskan reporter
and a photographer did
manage to get into another of
the centers. RYM I
spokesman Mark Rudd there
told of the danger of a police
raid on the building, and the
necessity for guards and
escape routes.
Rudd told the reporters
that action was scheduled for
the city's Haymarket Square
at noon. No one would com
ment on what type of action
was planned.
The idea that exclusively
peaceful protests and
demonstrations have been
ineffective was voiced
several times at the meetings
and on the streets. One youth
said that the U.S. power
system was forcing
dissenters to use more ex
treme tactics.
"The black man marched
and sat-in and sang 'we shall
overcome' but nothing hap
pened until they burned down
a few cities. Now I agree
with the Panthers, 'power
flows from the barrel of a
gun,' " he s?.id.
The RYM I belief that
violence was a legitimate
and sometimes necessary
tactic was summarized in an
article in the Chicago un
derground -newspaper, The
Seed.
"Because it is clear by now
that the only way we are
going to change this pig
system Is by building a
revolutionary youth move
ment, a fighting force
capable of dealing with the
pigs . . .
"(According to) Mahatma
Gandhi," it is better to resist
injustice with violence than
not to resist it out of fear."
In another church building
occupied by dissidents,
radical youth discovered a
police spy.
One SDS member
recognized an undercover
officer from the Chicago
police subversive squad. He
pointed the man out to other
members, who caught the
policeman in a hall and
began hitting him.
The church's minister
stopped the fight and the SDS
decided to vacate the church.
This lead to a police raid on
Covenant Church Saturday
morning, and 43 youths were
arrested.
The idea, he said, was to
make a "polit!cal"point.
"A lot of people are
starting to think that maybe
violence is the answer," he
commented.
Based on the less-than-ex-pected
turnout in numbers
for the mass demonstration
minority of those who broke
rom the established marca
to inflict physical damage lor
two blocks, there may be an
equal number of people who
do not think that violence is
and the consequences to the the answer.
Time-Out: university present, future
by Gary Seacrest
Nebraska Staff Writer
This year's ASUN
sponsored Ti me-Out
Program will focus on the
university its present
position and its future.
The program will be held
on Monday and Tuesday,
Oct. 27-28, and will feature
four speakers discussing
various aspects of the
iniversity community.
Steve Tiwald, Time-Out
.hairman, said. "Time-Out
will be an examination of the
university." He added that
he hopes the program in
forms students what is hap
pening on other campuses
and provides University
students with a direction for
campus reforms here.
Time-Out will concentrate
on four major topics: educa
tional reform, minorities on
campus, the student's role in
policy-making and the rela
tionship between the
university and the com
munity. "There's a widespread
dissatisfaction with t h e
status quo In the University."
according to Tiwald. "ASUN
wants to present some
alternatives to the status quo
so we're bringing in this
program. Hopefully these
people will stimulate interest
and ideas which will lead to
constructive change within
the University.
"The enthusiasm for the
moratorium is great. Now
we'd like to redirect some of
this enthusiasm toward
thinking about the University
and constructive change In
the University. After all, tha
University is much closer to
us and should be easier to
change than American
foreign policy."
Dr. Bill Birenbaum will be
one of the four major
speakers. He will discuss
educational reform. Biren
baum Is the president of
Staten Island Community
Co"p"e in New v0rk and the
author of "Overlive
Power, Poverty, and the
University."
James Turner, director of
the Center for Afro-American
studies at Cornell University,
will speak about minorities
on campus. Turner was an
organlzer of black students
at Northwestern. The Afro
American Society was in
strumental in obtaining the
services of Turner.
Leading the discussions on
the student's role in campus
policy-making and student
power is Charles Palmer.
Palmer Is currently presi
dent of the National Student
Association and was the
student-body president at the
University of California at
Berkeley last year. ..
Carl Davidson will discuss
the demands by student
radicals for university and
college reform. Davidson is a
former national Students for
a Democratic Society leader
and is now editor of the
"Guardian" and a leader of
the Revolutionary Youth
Movement-2 (RYM) group of
SDS.
"All the speakers have
their major talks, followed
by question and answer
periods," Tiwald said.
"During the speakers' spare
time they will be meeting
with special groups and
anyone who wants to talk to
them."
Birenbaum will meet with
the Centennial College, the
Tri-University Project, and
the Teacher's Council.
Palmer is scheduled to talk
to ASUN and IDA about the
students' role in policy-making.
Turner will meet with
the Afro-American Society to
discuss the role of minorities
on campus.
Included in the program
are informal question and
answer sessions with the
speakers Tuesday night.
Palmer will be talking In the
EI a r p e r S chramm-Smith
dorm complex; Turner will
be In the Abel-Sandoz com
plex and Birenbaum will talk
in the Cather-Pound com
plex. Tiwald said, the reason
"these rap sessions are
scheduled in the dorms is that
we wanted to place them in
places of student density with
an Informal atmosphere."
"The University is far
behind other schools in many
things," he said. "By bring
ing in outside people we can
learn what is happening in
other places and work for
University reform."
Tiwald cited educational
Innovation and coed vislta
ion in the dorms as two
areas where the University is
agging behind other schools.
Tiwald is expecting
widespread participation in
the Time-Out Program.
